Alligator > The rest. Good review though. I think their magnum opus is still ahead of them.

I've always felt like Boxer was weaker than this and Alligator. It has a few tracks that do absolutely nothing for me.

Nice review Sowing.



I honestly can't separate the past three albums. I love the whole understated charm on Alligator, Boxer has my favourite individual song (Apartment Story), and I think that High Violet is the most consistent.

"Sowing Review" basically just means that extrapolation thingy. You make your writings personal without ever making them too personal. Which is virtually an art; you can consider your balls thoroughly washed now.



Also, I've never listened to anything by The National. Am I to be shot now?
